Summary

Working With Families and Community Agencies to Support Students With Special Needs addresses two of the most exciting facets of working with students with disabilities: "life-stage" issues (early intervention and effective transition) and collaboration (working with families and professionals). Ysseldyke and Algozzine explore the larger context of students' lives outside school, and how life-stage issues and collaboration interact with and influence teaching. Including a pre-test, post-test, and key vocabulary terms, this informative resource offers valuable answers to the following questions: o What types of transition services exist and when are they necessary? o What should educators know about early-childhood intervention? o What issues should be considered when working with families? o How can schools involve community agencies and businesses? o What options are available to students with special needs after high school? o What key elements are critical to a student's success in the classroom and beyond?
